Passage: Smell is one of the senses of humans and animals, and there have been many efforts to build an
electronicnosethatcansensemanydifferentkindsofsmells.Whenwesmellsomething,wedetectchemical
moleculesintheair.Similarly,anelectronicnosedetectschemicalcompoundsusingrotationalspectroscopy.
A rotational spectrometer generates and transmits electromagnetic waves over a wide range of frequencies,
and analyses how the waves are attenuated to determine what chemicals are present as well as their
concentrationsinasample.Thesystemcandetectlowlevelsofchemicalspresentinhumanbreath.
Breath contains information about practically every part of the human body. Breaths contain gases from the

The proposed electronic nose can detect gas molecules with more specificity and sensitivity than
breathalysers, which can confuse acetone for ethanol. The distinction is important, for example, for patients
with Type 1 diabetes who have high concentrations of acetone in their breath. Imaging applications, hearing
